Ok here is a pic. of my engine. There are 3 pipes which are leading nowhere. As you can see the one on the right is coming out of the airpump, the one in the middle is coming somewhere out of manifold and releases air with pressure when i press the accelerator and the third one is coming somewhere out of a device called nippon denso. Any idea where these pipes should fix or if they are ok to be left hanging like this? Also Somebody recently asked me to check the coolant level as I was having slight white smoke problems. I know Im dumb but where in the engine do you check the coolant level? is it the coolant bottle on the extreme left? if yes it always seem empty i mean even if i fill 1 litre of water in it after a week the 1 litre is all gone but i dont see my coolant light coming on or anything

you already asked about those 3 hoses. yes its fine teh way it is, coolant level you check on the drivers side on your car. where it says coolant right next to your headlight. check that everytime teh car is cold and make sure its the same level everytime u check and the car is stone cold. to make this easier take out the parkign light (there is only one screw) and take a marker and mark the level on the reservoir canister and check to see if its at that same level next time u check it.

if you are having problems with coolant making its way into the combustion chamber (white smoke), you probably want to check the metal filler neck as well, which is right next to your air pump. it should be about a 1/2 inch or so from the top, and it should not change each time your car is completely cooled down. DO NOT OPEN THE COOLANT FILLER CAP WHEN YOUR CAR IS WARMED UP, or else you will have to wear an eyepatch like a pirate for the rest of your life.

the plastic overflow tank that kahren is referring to is a good place to check for changing pressure levels as well. if your engine is starting to go bad, you will likely see oil mixed in with the coolant as well as on the overflow tank dipstick.

hope this helps, and knock on wood that your motor is still good. also, please tuck those air pump hoses away somewhere. they look so stupid just dangling out in the open like that.

you should also consider cleaning the engine bay too =D

Your engine bay is backwards! LOL

Considering where in the world he is, I think cleaning it would be a waste of time..haha

Thanks for all the help guys. One last ques. The coolant bottle(where we are suppose to add coolant) goes empty after about every week. I fill it to full and then after one week its all gone. Is this normal or symptoms of any problem?

This could mean a few things. At best, you're just low on coolant and you need to keep topping off after letting the coolant cycle through the system. Also, It's possible that you're coolant bottle may have sprung a leak or the hose running to it may be leaking. Or, the worst case scenerio, you could be burning coolant and in that case you better start saving up for the big one. good luck.

uh, there's alot of dirt everywhere...

I agree with all the advice that has been given.

I am just curious about your part of the world, Faisal(Is that your name? I had a friend named Faisal Khan from Pakistan)

In Pakistan, do you drive on the left or right side of the road? I am assuming that you drive on the left side of the road since the engine bay pic shows that the car is a right hand drive.

How many 3rd gen Rx7's are there in Karachi? Are you the only one with an RX7?

What about gasoline prices? US$ 6-8/liter? Just a guess.

Sorry about all the questions but I am very curious.

3rdGen7

Must be a JDM/ JSPEC ..mine is just like that .. brake booster on that side ..ABS on the other side as well

faisalk

Ya my name is Faisal and Im from Karachi. Its a right hand drive FD. There are like 5-6 FD'S here in karachi. No mechanic understands this car and that is why im always posting so many questions. No parts available either and nobody is ready to ship to Pakistan

Mr. Stock

Does that mean people drive on the left side of the road? I would guess so because of British influences.

Have you tired some of the guys that are on the forum who sell parts? RX7 store, Canman6969 come to mind.

This has nothing to do with what you're asking but I'd probably run a closed box filter like the stock FD air box or a m2 air box to keep some of that dirt out of the filters..

Mr. Stock

Huh?
How does a box with an opening, keep any dirt out?

YayeR

damn, FD's in Pakistan. I'm from India and i cannot imagine any FD's driving on those road conditions, specially with how hectic driving is in the cities.

streetpower

looks dirty lol

YayeR

south asians are too sexy for asphalt

black99

I don't know I just didn't like the look of the dirt soaked filters and I was somehow thinking that it would let less dirt in...
